If you weren’t at the Caring Hearts of South Carolina Car Show this weekend, you missed out—big time. From old-school muscle to clean custom builds, the lot was packed with serious heat. The energy? Straight-up electric.

Stunning Autos on display from all years, makes, and models!

Horny Mike from Count’s Kustoms rolled in as our special guest and brought the Vegas vibe with him. The man didn’t just show up—he connected, took time with the fans, and reminded everyone why he’s a staple in the custom scene. From his signature horned helmet to his down-to-earth attitude, he brought a jolt of star power that matched the horsepower on display.

Standouts? Too many to count—but that blue lowrider Toyota had crowds circling all day. Laid low, clean chrome, flawless paint... It was a street dream brought to life. And of course, the muscle car lineup hit hard—Camaro, Charger, Chevelle, all flexing under the Carolina sun like they owned the blacktop.

Blue Toyota slammed to the ground in style.

Everywhere you turned, there was something to take in—custom paint that looked wet under the sun, polished engine bays detailed down to the valve covers, and families walking through with their jaws on the pavement. You could feel it in the air: this wasn’t just a car show—it was a celebration of craft, culture, and community.

Can you see the ghost pattern in the paint?

Vendors lined the lot offering everything from hand-dipped corn dogs to car care products you can’t find at the chain stores. Local shops and builders showed out, repping South Carolina hard with pride in every weld, polish, and burnout story. And when the music hit just right, it was like the cars and the crowd moved as one.

Spectators and participants talking amongst each other.

The crowd was mixed—veterans, kids with toy Camaros, and longtime builders sharing stories of their first rides. It wasn’t just about what you drove, it was about what you brought to the pavement. And Caring Hearts made sure the heart stayed front and center, reminding us why this event matters beyond the chrome.

Custom bikes came out to play to!

And let’s not forget the showstoppers rolling in late—trucks on air, bikes with wild graphics, and a few surprises that turned the whole show around more than once. This wasn’t just another meet-up. This was the kind of event that leaves a mark.
